"For this song, especially the 3rd verse, I want to make a Special Dedication to the shining memory of my Amazing Dad and Super Hero who recently passed away after a lengthy bout with Alzheimer’s Disease. I know a lot of people can relate to that verse and this song as a whole. If you are dealing with the struggle of experiencing a family member or friend who has Alzheimer’s Disease, just know that you are not alone and make sure they know that they are not alone either. Be there for them and Stay Strong for them! Take care of your Family always. Peace and Power." ~ Magestik Legend

What I'm Listening to: @CapitalOde "Success Or Death"

Very rarely do I give stuff in my inbox a listen via email, especially if I don't know of the person in advance. But once I heard this cut from Capital Ode, it reminded me of some Jay-Z cut I may have heard during his "In My Lifetime" days where his flow was still oft-kilter and the melodies were reminiscent of something produced by Ski Beatz in the days of yore. But hey, take a listen and let us know at TMB what you think.

Listen:


Capital Ode - Success Or Death

"BRAINSTORMERS EP"

CAYOZ x PRAVERB x A.L LAUREATE x DJ GRAZZHOPPA x O*ZEE

"FEAT. CROOKED I x SKYZOO x HELL RAZAH x MANCHILD"

The Brainstormers were conceived due to the success of its predecessors. The Wu Tang Clan, Task Force, The Arsonists, The Jurassic 5, Slum Village, and most recently Slaughterhouse paved the way for the development of this group. Each member possesses a specific skill that is brought to the forefront.

The group consists of Cayoz, A.L. Laureate, Praverb, DJ Grazzhoppa & O*Zee. The true essence of this group is on display when they collectively attack a song. The Brainstormers are poised to make a mark in an industry that is cluttered with uninspired material. This EP will serve as an introduction to the collective.

01.) By All Means (Produced By Deca One)

02.) Mind's Design (Produced By O*Zee)

03.) 4 Corner Vision (feat. Crooked I) (Produced By Teddy Roxpin)

04.) Proceed With Caution (feat. Skyzoo) (Produced By Teddy Roxpin)

05.) Righteous Soldiers (feat. Hell Razah) (Produced By Teddy Roxpin)

06.) Same Start (feat. Manchild) (of Mars ILL) (Produced By DJ Frantic)
